Understanding Cerebral Palsy: Information for Parents

One of the most devastating outcomes of childbirth is a birth injury, such as cerebral palsy (CP) or hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE). These two conditions can cause lifelong physical and cognitive impairments in children.
Unfortunately, medical errors and negligence during childbirth often cause these devastating conditions.

If your child has been diagnosed with CP or HIE, contact us for guidance. We will help you pursue financial assistance to pay for a lifetime of care for your child.

Cerebral Palsy and Medical Negligence

Some cases of cerebral palsy result from birth injuries caused by medical malpractice. These birth injuries often stem from inadequate care during the birthing process, where medical professionals fail to uphold the standards of care expected of them. 

Medical professionals are trained to act quickly and skillfully to protect the health and lives of both mother and child. Yet, when mistakes happen due to negligence, the consequences can be life-altering. 

Hospitals and medical providers will often minimize their role in causing harm to your baby. 

Let our experienced attorneys find out what could have happened to your child.

Common Questions

How is cerebral palsy diagnosed?

Cerebral palsy is typically diagnosed during infancy, although it can be diagnosed later in childhood. Diagnosis involves a physical examination, medical history, and neurological testing. Doctors may also use imaging tests such as an MRI or CT scan to look for signs of brain damage.

What treatments are available for cerebral palsy?

Unfortunately, cerebral palsy has no cure. However, treatments can help to manage symptoms and improve a child’s quality of life. Treatment may include therapies such as physical therapy, speech therapy, and occupational therapy to improve mobility and develop skills. Medications may also manage symptoms such as muscle stiffness and spasms. In some cases, surgery may be recommended to improve mobility.

How Long Does a Cerebral Palsy Lawyer Work on a Case?

A cerebral palsy lawyer will be by your side throughout the entire legal process, handling your case from start to finish. They will provide guidance, answer your questions, and ensure you are supported every step of the way. The timeline for resolving a cerebral palsy lawsuit can vary. Some cases, such as those involving medical malpractice, may settle out of court. However, if the case proceeds to trial, it could take longer to reach a resolution.

How much does a cerebral palsy attorney cost?

The Yost Legal Group does not charge any upfront fees, and we work on a contingency basis. Your lawyer will only get paid if you are awarded financial compensation. We provide a free confidential case evaluation, so there is no cost to determine if you may have a valid claim.
